Quantitative and Qualitative analysis of CSF flow was done on a Siemens Skyra 3T Scanner. Four normal Volunteers data shows highly accurate flow waveform, average distance travelled by particle along spinal axis and clear axial and coronal flow visualization between C3-C6 in the cervical spine. Particle tracking was performed in each axial slices. Distance travelled by particles along spinal axis was measured in all volunteers. The average distance travelled in all slices during systole in the head to foot direction varied from 0.1mm to 0.38 mm and during diastole varied from 0.14mm to 0.28 mm in the opposite directions.
